DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – NASCAR heads to the “Entertainment Capital of the World” to kick off the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs in grand fashion. Las Vegas will be the scene for an action-packed three days as NASCAR’s 16 best drivers and teams of 2018 begin their championship aspirations quest.

To celebrate the start of the sport’s postseason and engage fans, the festivities center around three major events: Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Media Day; NASCAR Burnout Blvd Fueled by Sunoco (formerly known as Victory Lap); and a two-day Playoffs Party at Fremont Street Experience culminating in a free concert by platinum-selling recording artist Cole Swindell on 3rd Street Stage. All the proceedings take place before the green flag drops at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, Sept. 16, when it hosts its inaugural postseason race – the South Point 400 – and NASCAR’s playoff opener at 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT (NBCSN, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. and CHARLOTTE, N.C. – FS1 and NASCAR Productions are gearing up for the fourth season of the critically acclaimed documentary series “Beyond the Wheel” beginning this week on “NASCAR Race Hub.” Featuring dynamic storytelling and never-before-seen insights, the short films take viewers inside the sport’s most compelling traditions and pivotal moments through the eyes of influential NASCAR legends and characters – both past and present.

In its infancy, there were too many drivers, not enough cars and far too few races for Rev Racing. The vision for diversity to truly take hold at NASCAR’s uppermost reaches was clear, though the path for getting there was foggy.

Fast-forward eight years and the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program has refined itself enough that Jefferson Hodges believes Rev Racing is ahead of the curve. With a win in the most recent NASCAR K&N Pro Series East event at Memphis and all three of its drivers in the top eight in the series standings heading to New Jersey Motorsports Park this weekend, Rev Racing’s best self is here.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – NASCAR and Charlotte Motor Speedway today announced the format and competition package for the May 19 Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race, both tailored to achieve one goal – the best possible race for the fans.

For the first time, Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series cars will implement the competition package used in last season’s successful NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which saw record numbers in leaders, lead changes and green flag passes for the lead.
